30 second poses
1 minute poses
For my second line art study I have chosen Max Grecke. I loved the exaggerated pose he put for the iconic Batman.
This one was very challenging for me. The main focus for me was the pose and I know I had to capture it perfectly to make the Batman come to life.
Tried my best to get the flow right. I know I could have added more variety when it came to the line weight but this is the final result. Any tips is very much welcomed.
Other line art study from artist Joe Palmer. His art is shape heavy and I wanted to study his art style.
I liked the monkey so I selected this one for my study.
I did an environment color study a while back before starting to learn perspective. I had very little knowledge of horizon line, vanishing points, or 1-5 point perspective. Now that I am starting perspective I hope to create environment illustrations with more depth and accuracy that is more fun for the viewers.
I was unhappy with the way I approached gesture drawings. They looked stiff and I felt as though I wasn't truly capturing the gesture. After looking some videos on how to gesture draw, there was one video that gave me the push I needed to understand more on the subject.
Love Life Drawing 'Figure drawing will make sense after this video' gave me that extra push. After watching the video, I noticed a difference in my gesture drawings. Still have a long way to master gesture drawing but the very least I feel as though I'm heading the right direction.
Gesture Drawing 1 minute
good stuff, that channel changed the way i look at gesture completely, i even did a little challenge on his forum a while back that quite literally opened my eyes, awesome find.
Been doing more one minute gestures drawing and I see some improvement which makes me very happy. I am focusing more on trying to break down the gesture so I sometimes (or most of the times) don't get to finish the pose. But overall happy I'm getting the feeling of the pose down. Gotta keep practicing more.
You're doing pretty good so far. I like your gesture drawings.
Thank you! I'm happy to be seeing some progress in my gesture drawing and I hope to get so much better in the future.
Moving on to 2 minute gesture drawings.

How do you make your gestures so clean?
2 months later
Got back on track. Here are some one minute gestures. I am trying a new approach for gestures. Did some cylinders since I was rusty too. Added some doodle faces cuz I got a bit distracted.
Sorry for the late reply. Before starting the gesture drawing, I would take some time to analyze the gesture pose so that when I start drawing I sorta have an idea.
Gestures and cylinder practice
Great work on your gestures and cylinders, the ellipses are looking good. Another thing you can try is to add some foreshortening to the cylinders, making the farther ellipse slightly smaller and placing the contour line slightly further away (farther section looks smaller than the closer section. For getting a more exact idea where and how that would look you can use a cube in perspective to guide you first, but after a couple it shouldn’t be too hard for you to make them freehand
Cheers!
